Drink Pink - With Whisky

Drinking pink doesn’t need to be all about the rosé. There’s no reason whisky should be left out when it comes to the drink pink trend. Whilst you’re not likely to find a pink whisky (nor would you necessarily want to) you can mix it to create a delicious pink cocktail so you don’t miss out on a rose-tinted summer. Drink pink with whisky? Hell yeah!
